Machado signs with Padres 10/300
The giveaway is when none of the main guys have anything. Someone obscure may get something first, but one of the main guys will get it within a few hours. When it's nothing but crickets from them, you know the wannabes are all full of crap.

Maybe he thought he had to fart, but he didn't have to fart.

If you can't grow it on the top of your head, your face is better than your back or your ears.

The CPD can stand down. There will not be a beat writer riot today at GRF.

All the fake insiders can go back to their holes, and come out tomorrow with the same stuff.

Speed pitch challenge at Grate Field
76 MPH was the winner. Of course the guy claimed he used to throw 94.

Yes but no. You wouldn't have the prospects the Sox have and worry about blocking anyone. Just to fill out a major league roster, with an expansion draft and free agency being what it is, and teams in the tank, you could probably build a .500 team pretty cheaply.

It would be a really good time to start an expansion team. You could make yourself a halfway decent team right off the bat.

Why do you have to be so sour? This was a 62 win team and they added: Nova 1.1 fWAR McCann -0.1 fWAR Alonso 0.7 fWAR Jay 0.8 fWAR Herrera 0.4 fWAR Colome 1.0 fWAR With or without Machado and/or Harper, this team is stacked.

He's been locked in the Sox are at least getting one, which I am sure he will be OK with. But both has been his dream. He's been more optimistic about this than anyone, so good for him. But if somehow they pull a Matt Davidson and strike out, he's going to need some therapy.

Why did he leave or a crushing letdown out? Must be a lock.

Politicians don't lie. This is a legit post. It's amazing how the Sox kept this so hush hush. No mainstream guy has it. Only randos on twitter knew it all along. Then the Sox threw everyone for a loop requesting extra security in Chicago, when the 2 will be in AZ. Brilliant. PT Barnum was right, there's a sucker born every minute. I fell for Dan Clark myself.

Frescas for everyone.

Yes. It's just Yonder saying he believes Manny will be signing with someone sometime. Hopefully today with the White Sox.

I read the other day, Boras still has 9 clients who are pretty decent, still unsigned. Playing this game with the big boys has its effect on the others. Corbin was smart. He got big bucks right away.

These guys can't really believe the White Sox acquired them for their baseball acumen.

Especially if he went to SD, which I really doubt. While it may not be true, it would imply they sat on their hands all winter and didn't up the offer enough allowing SD to come out of nowhere.

The only thing being maybe he casually mentions Machado has agreed to terms. But doubtful. At least when he is done speaking, we can all go on with the rest of our day.

I know. The White Sox don't need a police presence for a press conference. And Hahn is in AZ. He gives his words today, so we will know pretty quickly if today will be a dud. He's going to be asked about the color of Machado's glove, and his answer will be long, and basically say nothing, and everyone will take it to mean different things.

Everyone is getting away with it. The amount of fake insiders is ridiculous. Even people you can say are insiders have no info. So these fakes are just guessing.

Will the Soxfest surprise be revealed today?
